How will skills requirements evolve in the Canadian labour market through 2040?
Join us for key insights from our forecast of emerging and future skills demand across Canada.
We’ll use case studies to illustrate two distinct drivers of changing skills demand: shifts toward occupations that already require a given skill, and growing demand for that skill within occupations themselves.
This webinar will be of interest to policy professionals, workforce planners, educators, and others working to understand and anticipate Canada’s evolving skills needs.
What you will learn from this webinar
- What drives changes in skills demand and why understanding these drivers matters.
- Why measuring current skills demand is not enough and how forecasting can help anticipate future workforce needs.
- How changes in skills demand can reflect shifts in the occupational mix or changes in the skills required within existing occupations.
- Why distinguishing between these different sources of change is important when considering policy responses.
